    Guess what I got in the post today? My author copies of HoPWaG volume 5, on Classical Indian philosophy, of course written together with Jonardon Ganeri.

    I just had an exchange with Sandrine Berges (@sandrineankara) on Twitter about Diotima, who appears in Plato's Symposium espousing a theory of love and beauty that is strongly linked to Plato's theory of Forms.

    Some of you may remember that in summer 2019 I gave a series of lectures at my alma mater, Notre Dame. These are now online if you want to view them, the topic of the three lectures is “Don’t Think for Yourself: Faith and Authority in Medieval Philosophy.”

    Hi HoPWaG fans, I have an important favor to ask. In connection with the funding of the project, I need to document the impact the podcast has had on the wider world. So I'm looking for stories about things like: the effect it has had on the way philosophy is taught and studied (e.g. inclusion of non-western topics); testimony of the impact it has had on you personally or on groups you're connected to; use of the podcast in surprising ways (like maybe to teach English) or, really, anything else you can think of.

    Here is an announcement of two openings at my institute here in Munich, for researchers to join the ERC funded project I am running on Philosophy of Animals in the Islamic World. We're looking for a PhD student to work on animals in medicine and philosophy, and a postdoc to work on al-Jahiz's Book of Animals.
